An anonymous source jumped at the chance to grab the domain name, modernwarfare3.com, before Activision had the chance to secure ownership. Users who plugged in this domain name were routed away from any Call of Duty website, and originally were directed to an anti-Call of Duty video. Whoever runs the domain name is making an obvious statement of displeasure against the Call of Duty franchise.
